However, they can also cause problems and un

26、healthy addictions. This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. This country has the world's highest percentage of high-speed Internet services. It has also a high number of game players who are addicted to online games.In 2004, a young man died after playing online games almost non

27、stop for 86 hours. A 12-year-old boy stole $16,000 from his father to continue onIine games which he could not get away from. Such problems are spreading to other parts of Asia as well. In 2005, it was reported that about 80 percenf of China's 13.8 million online game players were under 25.And m

28、any of these were said to be addicted. Such numbers point toward a growing problem among Chinese youth.Dr. Sue-Huei Chen, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家), discovered some signs of at-risk people. Such people often go online to escape from their problems. And they usually have no friendship or good social skil

29、ls. They feel the need to spend more and more time online, so they may be absent from school or family. And they become upset if anyone tries to limit their online game playing.56.

33、uter gamesBSome kids cant sit still for very long. They have a hard time paying attention to just one thing. Theyre easily distracted（分心）, they can get very impatient, they hate standing in line or waiting for their turn in a game or activity, they get bored pretty fast, and they may also be impulsi

34、ve (沖動的) saying the first thing that comes to mind or interrupting someone else whos talking. For certain kids, this problem is so severe that doctors have a name for it: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD (注意力缺陷和多動癥). Perhaps as many as one out of every 20 kids under the age of 18 ha

35、ve characteristics of ADHD. Often, these kids have trouble getting through school and facing other difficulties later in life. Rizzo started developing the Virtual(虛擬的) Classroom in 1999. He wanted to see if he could use it as a tool for testing and treating kids who have attention disorders. To dia

36、gnose (診斷) ADHD, doctors typically test patients by giving them tasks that require attention. As part of one classic test, you watch letters flashing on a computer screen. Every time you see the letter “A” followed by the letter “X”, you have to press the space bar. If youre paying close attention,

37、youll record all of the times when this combination（組合）occurs. If not, youll miss some. The Virtual Classroom makes these tests more efficient, Rizzo says. In one experiment, he gave a group of kids the classic “A-X” test. Instead of looking at a computer screen in a doctors office, though, the kids

38、 wore headsets that made them feel like they were taking the test in a classroom.“Basically,” Rizzo says, “we found that the testing usually requires a couple of hours with computer screens in a doctors office, but it only takes 20 minutes with virtual reality.” 60.

CSubmit（提交）your photos and videos to You Witness News to have them considered for use on R, Yahoo!, and the Reuters p

42、rofessional picture service, used by thousands of news organizations worldwide.When you send images to pics, please provide the following so that we can review and post them:l Your full name l Your email address or phone numberl A brief description of the event you shot with the place and date that

43、it occurredShare your take with the world.What make a good news photograph?As youre thinking about taking news photographs, think about what makes up a good picture.Most importantly, it will be of interest to a wide audience（觀眾）. It may describe an event in the news: a train crash, a clash in the st

44、reets, crazily happy fans the moment the big game is won.Uniqueness(獨一無二) is eye-catching. A picture that no one else took has much more news value than one taken alongside a rank of other photographers. A good news picture will tell a story without words. It will have background by showing the surr

45、ounding scene, or show the emotion（情感）on the faces of the people in the picture.Timeliness is of decisive importance. Whatever the content, a news picture can lose its value in a short space of time. News events move quickly, and the shot of a mini tornado you took last week may have been used for t

A bird escapes from the cage.B. A policeman is robbed in the street.C. Two dogs fight in the park.D. An old couple quarrel at hom

50、e.DIt was Christmas Day 1999. On CNN, talk show host Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking .“What, professor, puzzled you the most?” King asked, “what do you think about the most?”Hawking immediately replied, “Women”.Its a comfort that Hawking, one of the smartest men in the world, is puzzled

51、by the opposite sex. But, thats not surprising, according to Satoshi Kanazawa. Bright people are no better than anyone else at making smart decisions about common things, he says. There include finding a mate, maintaining family relationships, raising children, finding the way home, and dealing with

52、 a variety of basic life needs. Thats because there are several kinds of formal “intelligence(智力),” Kanazawa argues. Being smart one way does not necessary mean smart in another way. This view is sure to cause arguments among scientists who think about thinking. That is because it disagrees with the

53、 common view that general intelligence is a single thing. In that view, it is not, as Kanazawa and others say, a set of independent mental areas. Kanazawa says that some kinds of intelligence developed slowly over time. Many people have heard about what is called “emotional intelligence”. Now, psych

54、ologists(心理學(xué)家) have discovered recognize faces, and locate（確定位置）oneself in a new environment. But, is there proof to support the theory that intelligence comes in many forms? “Actually, there is quite a lot of proof,” Kanazawa says “If there were only one type of intelligence”, he adds “Then people

55、with high IQs should be smart in every way.”In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects on a hike, walking into the forest. He then told them to find their way back. The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out where they were. In another experiment, a researcher asked people to find their way to a specific location in a computer maze(迷宮).Once again, high IQ did not give them any edge. 68. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Its surprising that the opposite sex puzzles Hawking.B. Its natural that the opposite sex puzzles H
